I recommend we put this in the FAQ. I've seen a number of posts where it seemed like people had whacky versions of make or install and I'll bet this was the problem. With "normal" unix systems case sensitivity allows developers to include files like Install and Make without having to be concerned with clobbering the system programs by the same name. This is a special issue for MacOSX and the case-insensitivity of HFS+. Besides, its widely agreed that putting "." in your path is a bad idea. Paul

You should leave "." out of your PATH environment variable. Or if you are used to have it, put it at the end or at least after /usr/bin. The problem here is that the windowmaker sources contain a script named "Install", and when Fink tries to install things using the "install" command, the latter translates not to /usr/bin/install or /sw/bin/install as it should, but to ./Install, due to the case-insensitivity of HFS+ and your PATH. -- Martin _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-beginners _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-beginners
